Both are already non-standard since 0.8.0, and have no use cases in my opinion. The reason for this change is dropping the requirement for signature verification engines to be bug-for-bug compatible with OpenSSL (which supports many non-standard encodings for signatures). Requiring strict DER compliance for signatures means any implementation just needs to support DER. Comments? -- Pieter
